Ingredients
-
200 g puff pastry
-
200 ml heavy cream (for whipping)
-
50 g powdered sugar
-
100 g soft almond Jijona nougat (turrón blando) by El Almendro or El Artesano
-
50 g mixed berries (strawberries, raspberries, blackberries, etc.)
-
A few crumbles of Jijona turrón blando for decoration
-
Optional: chopped nuts or toasted almonds for garnish
Preparation
-
Bake the puff pastry
Preheat the oven to 200°C (390°F). Roll out the puff pastry and cut it into rectangles of the desired size. Prick them lightly with a fork to prevent them from puffing excessively.
Bake at 180°C (350°F) for about 20 minutes, or until golden and crisp. Let cool completely on a wire rack.
-
Prepare the turrón cream
In a mixing bowl, combine the soft almond nougat, powdered sugar, and heavy cream. Whip until smooth and fluffy — the texture should be creamy and airy.
Chill in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes to firm up slightly.
-
Assemble the mille-feuille
Place one pastry rectangle on a plate, spread a layer of turrón cream, and add a few fresh berries. Repeat with another layer of puff pastry, cream, and berries. Finish with a final pastry layer.
-
Decorate and serve
Top with small swirls of turrón cream, a few turrón crumbles, and fresh berries. Sprinkle with powdered sugar and, if desired, a touch of toasted nuts for added texture.
